Che Chesterman is a talented singer-songwriter and Motown solo vocalist available for hire to perform at corporate events, club nights, wedding receptions, music festivals, product launches, and countless other occasions. The singer-songwriter rose to prominence on the twelfth season of the hit talent show, The X Factor. Che was born and raised in Basildon, Essex and began his working career stacking shelves at a Tesco. Inspired by his father's successful audition on season three of The X Factor in 2006, Che took the plunge and quit his job to pursue his dream.
Che studied music at college and formed a band with fellow students called Jinx. After performing locally, Che decided to go it alone and the solo artist didn't look back. He auditioned for The X Factor in 2015. His first-round audition of Jessie J's ‘Who You Are' astounded viewers and judges alike and won him a place in the boot camp. Performing well again in the six-chair challenge, Che made it through to the Judges' houses and was mentored by Nick Grimshaw.
Assisted by award-winning recording artist Mark Ronson, Che learnt the ins and outs of professional musicianship and refined his natural ability. Che made it all the way to the finals, eventually finishing third behind second-place Reggie ‘n' Bollie and eventual winner Louisa Johnson. Che's soulful voice and broad octave range made him a hit throughout the series as he sang unique renditions of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", 'Tears Dry on Their Own', "You Can't Hurry Love", 'When a Man Loves a Woman', 'Try a Little Tenderness' and various other hits.
Since leaving the show, Che has been busy writing, performing, and developing new music. He has been working on an exciting project with Reggie ‘n' Bollie as well his own singles. Che also travels the country performing at clubs, pubs, and concerts. His powerful voice and soulful inspirations mark him out as a timeless performer perfect for all occasions. From crooning at a corporate dinner, product launch, or Christmas party to performing pop hits at club nights, wedding receptions, or birthday parties he is an absolute must.
